Welcome to the October Stamp ‘n Hop Blog Hop where our theme this month is ‘ CASE your own card’. If you have come from the lovely Sandra Herzog I am sure you loved her project. You are currently visiting Mo Rootes from near Cambridge in the UK. I hope you like what I am sharing today.
I chose to CASE a card made for my August classes. I love this card design, it is so simple but really effective. I have used the lovely new Peaceful Boughs stamp set for the updated project.
To recreate the Peaceful Boughs card you will need:
Thick Whisper White card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded right lower corner
Whisper White – 5⅝” by 3⅞” – rounded right lower corner x 2
Whisper White – 3⅞” by 1”
Noble Peacock Foil – 3⅞” by ⅜” x 2
I began by using a PostIt Note to mask off a 1” strip on one of the Whisper White panels.

I stamped the both the large and small pinecones randomly above and below the masked area using Soft Suede ink. These pinecones are so realistic aren’t they? The PostIt mask was then removed.
The sentiment from the Perfectly Plaid stamp set was stamped on the 1” strip in Soft Suede ink.

The strips of Noble Peacock Foil were then added to the top and bottom of the sentiment strip with Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive.

The sentiment panel was then was added to the stamped panel on Dimensionals. The whole piece was glued to the Bermuda Bay card base using the same iquid adhesive. A trio of Noble Peacock Rhinestones were added to the card front.

I stamped a large and small pinecone onto the remaining Whisper White panel and adhered it inside the card. The same stamps were used to decorate the envelope.
